The TAG Alliances International Spring Conference in Nashville was the perfect setting for marking GMcG Chartered Accountants’ milestone membership

Membership of TIAG® has been one of the key features of GMcG Chartered Accountants’ service offering to clients with international interests or ambitions since 2014. The membership has enabled GMcG to provide clients with access to trusted sources of accounting, tax and legal expertise at regional, national and international levels.

TAG Alliances is one of the few international multidisciplinary alliances for accounting firms. Composed of TIAG®, an alliance of independent accounting firms; TAGLaw®, an alliance of independent law firms; and TAG-SP®, a multidisciplinary alliance of strategic partners, TAG Alliances serves the business needs of its members’ clients in over 110 countries worldwide.

GMcG Director Robbie Milliken headed Stateside to represent the firm at the TAG Alliances’ International Conference in Nashville at the beginning of May.

The International Conference, which takes place twice annually and alternates between USA and European locations, presents a packed programme of networking sessions, keynote speeches and information sessions. Importantly, it is valued by members for the opportunity to develop relationships with accounting and legal contacts from numerous international jurisdictions.

As the only Northern Ireland accountancy firm with TAG Alliances membership, GMcG is represented at each European Conference by one or more of its TIAG liaison Directors – Robbie Milliken, Lyn Canning Hagan, Susan Dunlop and Gabriel Greene.

This year’s USA Conference was a significant event, organised to coincide with the 25 year anniversary of TAG Alliances and also to mark milestone anniversaries of a number of member firms, including GMcG’s ten-year membership of TIAG.

The programme in Nashville included Robbie’s participation as a panellist on one of the information sessions. More than 200 attendees benefited from Robbie’s insight and expertise on succession planning for accountancy and legal practices.

Robbie explains more about how GMcG became associated with TAG Alliances, which has been ranked in the Top 3 accountancy alliances internationally by Accountancy Age Magazine for 11 successive years:

“We found that an increasing number of clients had aspirations to broaden their operations to international markets. Having considered the features and benefits of a number of international alliances for accountancy firms, we found TAG Alliances had the reputation, reach and type of membership that particularly suited our needs.

Through the Alliance, we have been able to confidently provide clients with access to international contacts we trust and with whom we have developed strong working relationships, helping them gain access to the specific expertise and advice they need.”
